How To Style A Space With A Mid-Century Modern Credenza?

Build your room around statement pieces. Choose one or two signature mid-century modern pieces of furniture to build your design around. This can be a kidney bean-shaped dining table, an Eames lounge chair, or a metal sunburst wall hanging. Use the rest of your design elements—from the color palette, to artwork, to window treatments—to complement and highlight those statement pieces.

Play with color. One of the things that distinguishes mid-century modernism from minimalism is the playful use of color. Experiment with where you might want to highlight color in your furniture, whether in a bright rug, accented dining room chairs, or graphic artworks. Prioritize retro colors, like sage green, robin’s egg blue, and butter yellow.

Keep it natural. Find a way to ground your design in nature. If you have large windows that look out on a natural landscape, choose interior colors that complement your view. Potted plants are also a great way to introduce nature into your interiors.
